Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has his hands in everything. The big man endorses a bevy of products, one of them being Icy Hot. Shaq sat down with Conan to talk about his uniquely philosophical outlook, being yelled at by Charles Barkley’s mother, how he decides which brands to rep, and remembering Kobe. Later, Conan reprimands his assistant Sona over a mistaken order of pens. But most importantly, Shaq talks about his first experience with the pain cream on Conan O’Brien’s podcast. Shaq claims he got IcyHot on his junk the first time he tried it:

“I had a thigh bruise and the guy rubbed it, but he rubbed it too high. During the game, my little guys started getting hot.”

He had to stop playing mid-game. He tried to wash the IcyHot off in the shower, which made things worse.

Finally he found relief by pouring milk on himself. “You guys, this company works.”

(43:00 mark)

Leave it to Shaq to rub Icy Hot on his junk.

Warning:  Don’t try this at home.
